of the other top stories we're following. a man fighting for his life after being shot at a popular east bay hiking trail. this happened last night on the trail in pittsburg. it was a third violent incident at that park in the past three months. also right now work crews are trying to get the water back onto dozens of people in lafayette. the problem started when a water main broke about 10:30 last night at the intersection of mt. diablo boulevard and village center. and a search for the zone northern california fishermen is going to extend beyond the 96 hours they've been in the waters off mexico's coast. their boat capsized and sank in the sea of cortez during a violent storm sunday. 35 other people have been rescued. the final space shuttle mission is scheduled to launch from florida tomorrow morning, but the final chapter in the 30- year-old shuttle program could be delayed. jim spellman is at the kennedy space center this morning where the one thing nasa can't

control is becoming a big factor. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning to you, pam. nasa tells us there's only about a 30% chance they'll be able to takeoff in the liftoff window tomorrow morning. if not try again on saturday if not try again on monday. atlantis in space marks the end of the era of the shuttle program. from the first mission over 30 years ago to the final launch of atlantis scheduled for friday morning, the shuttle program has defined american space travel for a generation. so far in 134 missions the five shuttles have taken 355 astronauts into space traveling over half a billion miles building the international space station and turning the heroic into the routine. twice their triumphs turned to tragedy. in 2003 when columbia broke up on re-entry. in 1986 when challenger exploded just after liftoff. >> we will never forget them
